Hydroid Receives Order
Hydroid received an order from the California Polytechnic State University for a custom REMUS 600 AUV system. The research being conducted by the university has been funded by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and the University. The REMUS 600 system presently being manufactured by Hydroid will be modified to house a custom sensor suite, and will incorporate a large battery section to enable very long mission durations, a capability that is key to suc-
install a caisson riser system at the K5A platform and complete pre-commissioning activities topside to topside from K5CU to K5A.

Bluefin, Global Marine Announce Partnership
cessfully conducting the research by Dr. Mark Moline and his associates in the Biological Sciences Department. This system will be the third REMUS system owned by the California Polytechnic State University. "We have extensive experience with the REMUS-100 systems, just passing 4,000 km underwater," said Dr. Moline. "While these systems continue to be excellent for near coastal applications, their limited duration influences the types of data we can collect and interpretation of the data. For example, we are unable to fully address tidal aliasing in currents, movement of particles etc. The REMUS-600 addresses this issue, but also it allows for a regional snapshot of ocean structure and dynamics."
